Chall Barn is a carefully executed 2018 barn conversion set in tranquil Cornish countryside just outside Mawnan Smith. The house balances exposed granite, vaulted beamed ceilings and slate/flagstone floors with a bespoke kitchen, wood burners and south-facing solar panels for lower running costs. Accommodation is flexible across the main barn and a separate converted outbuilding (“The Little Smithy”) that could serve as an annex, guest suite or income-producing holiday let.
The main barn offers a generous open-plan living room with vaulted ceiling, bespoke kitchen and a cosy Morso wood burner, plus two double bedrooms and a marble-finished bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from triple aspect light, a mezzanine and generous eaves storage. The Little Smithy provides an additional living room with vault, mezzanine studio/bedroom and a shower room — useful for multi-generational use or letting.
Outside there are private gardens to front and rear, an enclosed south-facing courtyard, and a private driveway with parking for three vehicles. The setting sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is convenient for coastal walks, Helford River access and Falmouth’s amenities. Offered chain-free, this property suits buyers wanting a characterful rural home with flexible living or an investor seeking a ready-made holiday-let annexe.
Important practical points: the property uses electric heating (room heaters) with mains electricity supplemented by solar PV, private water and shared septic drainage, and it carries an EPC rating of E. Prospective buyers should factor service arrangements (private water/septic) and the higher running costs sometimes associated with electric heating into their considerations.
